First use, a volley ball. You would think design is such that would not happen. They are LED. What the heck do we even need access at all?
Think yourself lucky the diffuser didn’t fall off and hit a player.

Bad fixture choice for that application if you were to ask a highly qualified licensed electrician in the great state of Hawaii such as myself. P.S. maybe you could tek screw in some sort of rotating clasp to each of them to ensure it doesn't happen again.
I'm sure there is someone in here that will say that should have been in the job specs.......
But you are right. Bad fixture choice.

It is a hi bay.I could be wrong, but it looks more like a regular lay in fixture than a high bay gym light.
The school superintendent said he was not there to witness what happened, so intentional damage is a thought. We have a solution in mind for this job, but the neighboring school will most likely not get these fixtures.I remember when I was in high school, we intentionally kicked balls around in the gym to try to hit the ceiling. :lol::lol:
We ordered these fixtures with the factory installed options because we were informed they are a PIA to install afterwards. Must have been a PIA at the factory too, because it looks like we have to open all 28 fixtures, fight the lens assembly to get the hinge set correctly and close it up. Done correctly I don't see any thing short of dynamite opening them up.
IMO there is a difference between "intentional damage" and a kid just seeing how high he (or she) can kick a volleyball and incidentally hitting a light fixture.The school superintendent said he was not there to witness what happened, so intentional damage is a thought.
